A) carbon disulphide
B) chloroform
C) carbon dioxide
D) carbon monoxide
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Carbon monoxide forms a stable compound with haemoglobin called carboxy haemoglobin as affinity of Hb for CO is 210 times greater than its affinity for\[{{O}_{2}}\]. In this form haemoglobin does not carry oxygen resulting in death too. \[\underset{Haemoglobin}{\mathop{Hb}}\,+CO~~\underset{Carboxy\text{ }haemoglobin}{\mathop{HbCO}}\,\]You need to login to perform this action.
